this show has absolutely been a comfort blanket for me in this shitshow of a year. I've watched the whole thing over and over.
not fighting your point (WOC need greater representation in general) - but I thought the show did a good job of representing a diverse men's team in the UK... edit: after reading the article, I realized how white the show's leading cast really is.
